This seven minute short sequence was created by the Disney studios and released as part of the movie "The Hollywood Party." There is also an introductory sequence with Mickey Mouse taking with Jimmy Durante. The short was built around a song by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed.

Even though Hot Chocolate Soldiers is not a feature cartoon, it is a fantastic cartoon. Embedded in the Jimmy Durante movie Hollywood Party, Jimmy and Mickey Mouse introduce the cartoon to entertain the guests at Jimmy's party. The idea, color, and the Chocolate War was sheer brilliance! Arthur Freed's singing shows he was a multi-talented movie genius. Nothing today can equal the quality of this cartoon.
